6. Profile of a globally competent student A globally competent person can work effectively in international settings; is aware of and adaptable to diverse cultures, perceptions, and approaches; is familiar with the major currents of global change and the issues they raise; and is capable of communicating effectively across cultural and linguistic boundaries. (Brustein, n.d.)

7. Why Internationalize? • Strengthen liberal education. • Enhance the quality of teaching and research. • Prepare students for careers. • Contribute to local economic development and competitiveness. • Enhance students’ ability to live in an increasingly multicultural environment in the U.S. • Enhance the development, excellence, and relevance of institutions in other countries. • Contribute to international and intercultural understanding. • Produce experts required to support U.S. foreign policy and diplomacy. • Create goodwill and support for the U.S. and other countries. (Green & Olsen, 2003)

8. KEY TERMINOLOGY International education is a comprehensive approach to the students’ academic plan that intentionally prepares them to be active and engaged participants in a multicultural, interconnected world through internationalization of the curriculum(Green & Olsen, 2003). Internationalization is the process of integrating an international, intercultural, or global dimension into the purpose, functions, or delivery of postsecondary education (Knight, 2003).
